Operating in low orbit, within the nocturnal space of Earth's dark side, Liana returned from astral projection to her body lying in her own quarters aboard the starship. It seemed that within the interstellar fleet, there were always a few individuals who differed from ordinary fleet members, each possessing their own unique abilities beyond those of normal humans.
运行在低轨道上,地球背阳面的夜色空间中,莉安娜从星体投射回到了星舰中躺在自己房间的身体.似乎在星际舰队中,总有几个人有着不同于其他普通舰队成员的人,他们有着自己各自不同的超于常人的特殊能力.
Liana stretched her body and turned her head to see that Lydia had already returned, sitting there and looking at her.
莉安娜舒展了一下身体,扭头看见一边的莉迪娅已经回来了,坐在那里正看着自己,
"He's wandering," Lydia transmitted her observation of Lin Yuhui's soul condition to Liana through consciousness.
"他在游荡,"莉迪娅把自己看到的林语晖的灵魂情况用意识传送给了莉安娜,
"Let him follow his own free will," Liana replied simply.
"让他遵循自己的自由意志,"莉安娜简单回答,
Lydia seemed dissatisfied with her sister's answer, but Liana blocked further communication on this topic, unwilling to say more. Lydia could only pout and drop the subject.
似乎莉安娜不太满意姐姐的回答,可是莉安娜屏蔽了这个话题的进一步沟通,不想再说什么了.莉安娜只好撅着小嘴,不再讨论这个议题了.
Freed from the constraints of his physical body, Lin Yuhui experienced unprecedented freedom—not only could he move about at will, but he could also perceive the senses and emotions of specific individuals across vast distances. This perception seemed to transcend linear time. For instance, his connection to his other body elsewhere had not been severed; transcending space and time, Lin Yuhui knew they would live in the north, so he decided not to disturb them. With this thought, he slowly flew from the west coast toward the central Nevada region.
失去了身体的舒服,林语晖体会着全所未有的自由,不仅能够随意地移动,还能跨越遥远的距离感知特定人的感官和情绪,似乎这种感知都已经跨越了线性时间.比如自己在别处的身体的感知,似乎连结并没有被切断,跨越时空,林语晖知道他们会在北方生活,那自己就不去打扰他们了,想到这里,他从西海岸慢慢地飞向了中部内华达地区.
In the desolate desert night, only the intersections of small towns at the edges had sporadic lights; the darkness was utterly lonely. However, this meant little to him—his life had already been filled with loneliness, or rather, most of his life. He had long grown accustomed to everything.
夜色中荒凉的沙漠里,只有边缘地区小镇的路口才有零星的灯光,黑暗中无比的孤寂.不过这对于他来说也不算什么了,自己的一生已经写满了孤寂,不,应该说是大半生,早已习惯了一切.
Moving through the night, or rather moving his perception, the cool desert air seemed to caress every cell deep within his being. That rhythm of molecular fluctuations and collisions could carry away years of accumulated resentment and unwillingness, leaving only the tranquility deep within his soul.
在夜色中他移动着自己的身体,或者说移动着自己的感知,沙漠中清凉的空气似乎抚过他身体的每一个细胞深处,那带着分子波动碰撞的韵律,可以带走不管多少年积淀的愤懑与不甘,只留下心灵深处的宁静.
Beyond touch and vision, Lin Yuhui felt he still retained his sense of smell. In the desert night, the air temperature dropped sharply, and close to the ground, he could faintly detect the damp scent of sand and stone. As he drifted silently across different terrains, that moist freshness was mixed with wisps of sweetness from vegetation carried by the breeze, as if this desert night was the time when those lives danced with joy throughout the day.
除了触觉和视觉,似乎林语晖觉得他还保留着嗅觉,沙漠的夜色中,空气温度骤降,贴近地面的空中居然可以依稀闻到砂石潮湿的气息.在他轻飘无声地飘过不同地域的时候,那潮湿的清馨里还夹杂着丝缕微风送来的草木的清甜,仿佛这沙漠夜色才是那些生命在一天之中欢舞的时段.
Before he could fully enjoy the pleasure of floating in the tranquil night, dim lights in the distant mountains had already caught his attention.
漂浮在宁静的夜色里的惬意,还没有享受够,远处山间的暗淡灯光已经吸引了他的注意力.
Where the heart leads, the spirit follows. In an instant, his perspective had stopped above the valley between two mountain ranges. It seemed to be a military base, brightly lit, surrounded by metal fencing, with entry and exit through gates and main roads. Inside the base were helicopter landing pads, and around the concrete main building were barracks, garages, and fuel tank areas—apparently a self-sufficient facility deep in the desert.
心之所向,神之所往,转瞬间他的视角已经停在了那两行山间的上方.似乎这是一个军事基地,灯光明亮,四周有金属围栏隔离,出入基地要走大门和主要道路.基地内部还有直升机停机坪,混凝土主体建筑周边还有兵营和车库,燃料罐区,似乎是一个自给自足的沙漠深处设施.
Flying toward the brightest building, he even circled around the guard at the entrance to observe him. Holding an outdated M16 rifle—could he be a mercenary? He wore what appeared to be desert camouflage uniform. Lin Yuhui felt his ability to distinguish colors had weakened considerably, but he could somehow see through human bodies and materials. The guard had a flask tucked in his chest—heh, indeed someone here to earn money by carrying a gun.
朝着灯光最亮的那个建筑,飞了过去了,甚至围着门口的卫兵转了一圈观察他.手持过时的M16步枪,难道是雇佣兵吗?身穿的应该是沙漠迷彩制服,林语晖感觉似乎自己在分辨颜色方面的能力弱化了很多,但是他能在某种程度上看穿人体和物质,他在怀里揣了一个酒壶,呵呵,果然是来扛枪挣钱的.
Then passing through the gate, the interior hall of the building held nothing novel—shabby and dull. From afar, he saw an elevator shaft to the left front, and Lin Yuhui's curiosity instantly pulled him toward it. Descending along the shaft, he examined the facilities on each underground level—all laboratory equipment or chemical and pharmaceutical production facilities, nothing that interested him. Namelessly, there seemed to be some kind of pull; Lin Yuhui descended to even deeper facilities. Here, both the ceiling height and floor area were larger, with many large vertical stainless steel cultivation tanks. He could see not only the stainless steel exterior of the equipment but also the people floating in the culture fluid inside.
接着穿过大门,建筑内大厅并没有什么新奇,破旧没有光彩.远远地看到左前方有电梯井,林语晖的好奇心就瞬间把他拉了过去,沿着竖井向下,查看着地下每一层的设施,都是实验室设备或者类似化工和药剂的生产设备,并没有什么让他有兴趣的.无名中似乎有在某种牵引,林语晖下到了更深层的设施,这里无论是层高空间,还是地坪面积都更大,并且有很多大尺寸的立式不锈钢培养皿,而他不光能看到设备外表的不锈钢,还能看到里面培养液中漂浮的人.
This was interesting. He floated over to carefully observe each person inside. Initially, this area contained only males, physically strong and all with identical appearances and builds—they appeared to be mass-produced clones. Yes, they were clones. Careful observation revealed their internal organs were consistent with humans, and they were alive.
这就有趣了,他飘过去,自己观察里面的每一个人.开始这个区域里面的都是男性,身体强壮,并且相貌身形都是一样的,看起来他们应该是批量制造的克隆人.是的,他们是克隆人,仔细观察可以看见他们的内脏,与人类是一致的,并且他们是活的.
Lin Yuhui tried to merge his body into one of them—heh, although he no longer had a physical body, he attempted to fill himself into the man's body, trying to see if he could gain his perception. But it didn't work. He could even smell the bodily fluids within him, yet he couldn't access his senses.
林语晖试着把自己的身体融入其中一个人的身体,呵呵,虽然自己已经没有身体里了,只是试着让自己充填他的身体,尝试是否可以获得他的感知,可是不行,自己甚至能够问道他身体里的体液味道,但是就是无法获得他的感知.
Stinky man, Lin Yuhui complained as he left the man's body. If it had been a woman, he might not have felt so repulsed internally, especially since it was a man of a different race. But then another thought—wait, wanting her body now isn't the same as wanting her body when I was alive, is it? Would I have to enter a woman's body and wait for another man? Heh, thinking this, he laughed at himself.
臭男人,林语晖抱怨着离开了他的身体,要是女人自己的内心也许还不会这么抵触,尤其还是不同人种的男人.可是转念又一想,不对啊,我现在想要她的身体与我活着的时候想要她的身体可不是一回事啊.难道我要钻进一个女人的身体等着被另一个男人?呵呵,想到这他自己都笑了.
Passing through this area, further inside were smaller clusters of cultivation tanks. Strangely, these were different colors—perhaps categorized by color.
穿过这片区域,往里还有小规模的培养皿集群,很奇怪,这些的颜色都不同,或许是按照颜色分类的.
Approaching, he discovered that the cultivation tanks here weren't mass-produced clones—only a few of each appearance were cultivated, including men, women, old and young. What were these for? NPC ordinary people? Right, an inconspicuous person could also be a spy. That was a possibility, Lin Yuhui mused to himself.
靠近了他才发现,这里的培养皿不是大批量克隆培养的,每个相貌的人只培养几个,男女老幼都有,这是做什么的呢?NPC普通人?对了,一个不引人注意的人也可能是间谍,有这个可能,林语晖暗自琢磨.
Walking further in, Lin Yuhui's eyes suddenly lit up—though he no longer had eyes; perhaps it was his forehead lighting up. Anyway, he couldn't see himself. This area was filled with beautiful female clones of different races, different appearances and figures.
再往里走,林语晖顿时眼前一亮,虽然他已经没有眼睛了,也许是自己脑门一亮吧,反正他也看不见自己.这个区域都是美女克隆体,不同人种,不同相貌身材的美女.
Beautiful female spies? With this question in mind, he carefully examined each product in the cultivation tanks one by one. Blonde Caucasians, black-haired Asians, and black-haired Western Europeans—probably from the Mediterranean region, red-haired curly-haired Celts, and some beauties who appeared to be Eastern European, pretty but without prominent racial features.
美女间谍吗?怀着疑惑,他逐个自己观察每个培养皿里的产品.白种人金发,亚裔黑发,还有黑发西欧人,是地中海区域的吧,红色卷发凯尔特人,还有一些美女似乎东欧人种,俏丽但是不太显著的人种特征.
What were they used for? Ha, no need to ask—for any scenario. Lingering among these beautiful figures for quite a while, Lin Yuhui suddenly noticed a door at the end of the corridor, tightly closed, with no way to see inside.
她们是做什么用的呢?嗐,还用问吗,任何情景.游走流连于这些倩影之间好一阵子,林语晖忽然注意到走廊尽头还有一个房间门,房门紧闭,看不清里面.
Driven by curiosity, he passed directly through the wall. Inside, he found an empty room. What was an empty room doing here? While puzzling over this, his body suddenly floated upward involuntarily, as if he had stuck to the ceiling. He tried to move, but it felt somewhat sticky. He could move himself to a limited extent, but always felt part of his body was stuck to the ceiling.
带着好奇心,他直接穿过墙壁,进去后发现是一个空房间,留一个空房间在这里做什么呢?正在疑惑之中,忽然身体不由自主地飘起,仿佛自己贴在了天花板上.他想要移动一下,但是感觉有点粘,能够有限地移动自己,但是总感觉有身体的一部分被粘在了天花板上.
Strange, how could this be? Was he trapped? Only then did he carefully examine the empty room, faintly sensing ripples in the air along the surrounding walls, stirred by shockwaves.
奇怪了,怎么会这样,被捆住了吗?这时他才仔细环顾了一下这个空房间,似乎微微感到四周墙壁的空气被震荡波催动出涟漪.
Was this a soul trap? Lin Yuhui suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation. He began trying to move forcefully, attempting to break free. Although pulling his body to any extent wouldn't cause pain, he still couldn't break loose.
这是一个灵魂陷阱?林语晖忽然意识到了问题的严重性,他开始试着用力移动自己,试图摆脱束缚,虽然拉扯身体到什么程度都不会觉得疼,然而依然无法挣脱.
Was he going to be trapped here forever? Heh, but then another thought—he was already dead, what was there to fear about dying again? Time meant nothing to him anyway.
难道自己要被困死在这里了吗?呵呵,转念一想,自己已经死了,还怕再死一次吗?反正时间对于自己来说也没有什么意义了.
Lin Yuhui looked at the empty room. Since he was here, he might as well make himself comfortable.
林语晖看了看这个空房间,既来之则安之.
